Default Extension cable loosing flexibility

This is about those extension power leads ( usually orange coloured from B &

These cables seem to have 'a mind of their own' every time you reel them up
and unreel them.

It's like a 'memory effect' they have, ( as if they are not flexible
enough ) and want to keep moving in a direction that they must have been
stored in previously.

This probably sounds like a minor thing. But the total time wasted and
frustration trying to unravel the thing mounts up time after time.

It's why stuff like that shouldn't be tailed in the first place...
